I like the postbit and it's good that you have your forum stats at the bottom right below your 'fun area' subforum.

Edit: I registered and noticed in the sideblock the taiga chat text area and button breaks onto another line. Perhaps lowering the width to 80% by throwing the following code into extra.css template.
